"A vision of Neoclassical splendor and poetry in marble."

A monumental Belle Époque French Louis XV Rococo Revival style ormolu-mounted and sans-traverse veneer inlaid (Fauteuil De Bureau) Office Armchair, after the model by François Linke Index No.703, Paris, Circa 1900, with a curvilinear, cartouche-shaped back and open arms. The exquisite frame is outlined and ornamented with continuous ormolu molding that accentuates the sinuous silhouette.

This sumptuous armchair is hand-made by our craftsmen to exemplify the late-19th-century Parisian revival of the Louis XV repertoire, combining the sinuous, asymmetrical lines of 18th-century Rococo with the technical bravura favored by the great haute-luxe ébénistes of the period;

Upholstered in rich burgundy leather, secured with patinated brass nailhead trim. The crest rail is in Rocaille-pediment centered by a prominent, sculptural Agrafe containing a high-relief female Mascaron. The visage is framed by stylized, asymmetrical acanthus foliage that flows into the shoulders of the chair and supported to the reverse by a very fine spilling water scallop shell, continuing to the padded armrests (manchettes) terminate in scrolled volutes, supported by swept, incurved arm supports embellished with trailing dolphin supports with detailed husks, leafy casting of acanthus sides and scrolling acanthus tail.

The seat rail exhibits a serpentine profile, centered by a pierced Rocaille cartouche of an acanthus bud spilling water flanked by delicate chased foliate sprays. The chair rests on four cabriole legs; finely mounted by vigorously ormolu chutes of leafed scalloped shells that trail down the spine of the leg and terminating in enveloped in foliate out-scrolled wrap-around cast sabots.
